6:35 pm
the expert we spoke to said the answer is clear, yes. despite the fact home land security officials are working the intelligence or working sources they're working behind the scenes to stop all this stuff the problem here is in the latest manifesttation of the stuff the so-called low tech attacks they're not talking about the al-quida style catastrophic attacks and teams of people taking over aircraft which require large amounts of coordination and large amounts of communication which spreads out a wide foot present out there and security officials can trace and stop. no we're talking at least in london attack 48 hours ago teams of three people. sometimes as little as one. and that becomes a whole different ball game. because then you're not able to tap into some sort of network and often times you're dealing with one individual. we talked to the
6:36 pm
this mayor muriel bowser and she said a couple things. they're aware of threat it's constant. she does not offer and cannot offer 100% guarantees but listen how she talked about the ongoing effort perpetual effort to keep on top of this and make sure they get to these people before they get in these trucks. and they try to initiated one of these types of attacks. this is what she to say. >> we'reny our nation's capital and symbol of democracy around the world and we prepare that way each and every day. and so there will be some things that chief of police and partnership with his intelligence gathering with the federal partners and other partners will do. if the conditions or intelligence suggests he should. in fact we can tell we saw a larger more visible presence by u.s. capital police it's with certain
6:37 pm
set newspaper areas we previously had not seen park police telling us tonight they are in concert and constant communication with law enforcement partners and however as you might understand they does not want to go to detail about exactly how it is they are meeting this threat. understand there's a limit to how far all this work can go. we're maition's capital and tourist destination and areas we are with the national mall there's wide expansion of landscape out here and large groups of people walking a long paths that do not have vehicle barriers in front of them. we went over at one point today to talk to david and sarah. david is homeland scorety expert. the lesson in all this is that the work you don't see in this case becomes most important that intelligence gathering david says is key to stopping all this this is how he described that. >> we can do barriers and these types
6:38 pm
are sway using intelligence to find them. >> if ceez in their hands and in the vehicles you need to intercept before that point you. >> need to inlt september them before they get to the national mall. >> that is hard truth. there's no 100% guarantees in thinks business jim and shawn ul ultimately it's up to law enforcement officials to stop these people to get in the cars and stop them before they pick up the knifes. >> fitz let me get your pchbility looking down there barring rain, do you think people are going out daily lives differently because of this. jim mentioned when in new york earlier things were the same in times square. over in london we know there's fewer people out on the st street. what are you seeing? >> well i would see normal activity shawn to be blupt about it and jim is right. the fact that the people who live here in
6:39 pm
native washingtonians and them maryland, virginia, they're used to these kinds of things. it's not uncommon if you see heavily armed law enforcement officer somebody out of town might whip out a camera and take a picture it's something they don't see never day life. there's a two-fold response to this kind of thing. by in large we saw a lot of normal every day activity out here today. >> and like the mayor of london said do not be alarmed and the tweet was taken a bit in a different direction by the president. fitz thank you so much. >> now to other stories tr trending tonight supreme court could decide if president trump travel ban sgrim nature against muslims it. banned refugees from countries designated on trump terror. >> russian president vladimir putin denying any russian hack
6:40 pm
of u.s. hacking andp he says spitz could have had made evidence. he suggests private hackers may have interfered. >> in europe i have not seen once direct proof of russian interference in the presidential election in the united states. the united states, every , where all over the world, actively interferes with he welcome toreal cam paipz of other country. >> it comes as law makers in supposed to hear from fbi director comey on thursday. >> fbi director and nsa director admiral rothers are scheduled to testify as we mentioned. >> this would be the first time he speaks publicly since he was last director. sanders says the president will not stop comey from testifying. the president's power to exert executive privilege is well established and however in order to
6:41 pm
and thorough examination of the facts sought by snaint intelligence committee president trump will into the certificate executive privilege regarding james comey scheduled testimony. >> he's sxexed to discuss -- >> weighing in on this one and we should meng in the past michael represented the trump corporation and first lady mel ania trump. now you look at the travel ban and say it's the wroming way to go. >> the travel ban in my opinion is a wrong message. the president is not a bigot or preming tuesday but trooing to keep america disgrace. when you have 11 million people in the united states in the backyard without any credible immigration plant. soy think that it was well intended but ill conceived and unconstitutional. >> let's switch it over and talk about
6:42 pm
talking about thursday much anticipated testimony of former fbi director mr. comey. there let me ask you he was very guarded when he heard him speak before there was certain things he could or could not say when he see him testify do you see him open autopsy and share more. >> this is not lovey dovey leader. the gentleman served under two presidents as fbi director and served under three separate presidents as federal prosecutor he will be thoughtful and deliberate and well oiled and answer questions put to him n my opinion he's beyond reproach and i think the president it handling this well by not envokeing executive privilege and allowing the process to go. this is a yawn in my opinion in the end. if flynn stepped out of line unbe knownest to administration
6:43 pm
>> it's like the old car toops torture is lit. you have to let it go and explode. i think the president contributory negligenceer happy as he is in the stweets understand this is not going to envoke executive privilege and i think mr. comey is not going to take fifth amendment. in the end he'll talk about what happened and his work product and the privilege of having that job and speaking directly to the president and then coining what happened in that exchange and let's cut down to the simple chase this president was elected not because of politician not because politically correct hi doesn't pull punches and could be it was not anything criminal or inappropriate for the president to actually ask director of fb toyxt stave off the investigation for a period. vd time or in a certain direction. >> so that's obstruction of justice and it's not as cut and dry. by weighing in
6:44 pm
questions that's it. >> president of the united states is in charge of the justice department and attorney general fbi together them what's the point of being president of the united states if you cannot telt director of fb toyxt do something or not do something. i understand it looks poor and poor taste if somebody in his administration may i have been unwords or unclean but we don't know the president played into that. >> certainly we'll hear testimony from fbi director james comey thursday. thank you for joining us michael wild we appreciate your thoughts on the topic. >> let's move on tonight. we have fun here 5@60. we'll spread the word. shaw tavern u street will on ep early thursday to broadcast comey highly anticipated testimony. they're calling in comey hearing
